Baystate Franklin Medical Center’s annual Employee Artisans and Craft Fair will take place on Friday, December 4, from 8am – 4pm, in the hospital’s main conference rooms and lobby; the public is invited to attend. The fair will feature unique hand-crafted items, created by present and retired BFMC employees and volunteers. The event also includes a silent auction. Proceeds will benefit BFMC’s laboratory services.

Levine continued, “Baystate Franklin is very special to all of us. We have always used craft fair proceeds to support hospital programs. This year, Craft Fair funds will support the hospital’s lab.

Carol Benoit, MT(ASCP), DC, manager, BFMC laboratory, said, “I am thrilled that the lab will be the recipient of donations from the craft fair this year. In these tough economic times, every expenditure is carefully considered; so an unexpected source of funds is quite welcome. Thank you for helping us to continue our great service to our patients!”
